The latest move from the BoI comes in the aftermath of the Reserve Bank of India starting a "prompt corrective action" against it for mounting bad loans. It can be noted that since the public sector banks (PSBs) dominate the credit space, lead by SBI, lenders have been engaging SBI Caps, the merchant banking arm of SBI, for both loan appraisals as well as loan restructuring and even project appraisals.

"PCA framework is one of such supervisory tools, which involves monitoring of certain performance indicators of the banks as an early warning exercise and is initiated once such thresholds as relating to capital, asset quality etc. are breached", it said. On its part, the RBI clarified that the PCA was undertaken to facilitate the lenders to take corrective measures, including those prescribed by the central bank, in a timely manner, in order to restore their financial health.
